Lyrics

An (C)oth er day, an oth er sin,

an oth er day, I’m late a gain.

Oh, and (Am)just like that, my mon ey’s spent,

where did it all go?

An (C)oth er night, an oth er heart,

an oth er one leaves in the dark.

And I’m (Am)search ing for my coun ter part,

where did they all go?

And I lock ev ’ry sin gle door.

And I look be hind me e ven more.

Now (Am)I turned in to some one that I swore I would nev er be.

(Fmaj7)I wish I could (Am)go

(C)back to play ing bar bies in my (Fmaj7)room.

They nev er (Am)say

(C)that you’ve got to grow up quite this (Fmaj7)soon.

How fast things (Am)change

and (C)now I’m here and all I want to (Fmaj7)do

is go back to play ing bar bies in my (Am)room.

And I (C)see it on my fa ther’s face,

an oth er line that comes with age.

I and (Am)know that time will have its way,

where did it all go?

They (C)say that things were sim ple then,

al though I don’t re mem ber when.

I I’m (Am)want to know what hap pens next,

where do we all go?

And I lock ev ’ry sin gle door.

And I look be hind me e ven more.

Now (Am)I turned in to some one that I swore I would nev er be.

(Fmaj7)I wish I could (Am)go

(C)back to play ing bar bies in my (Fmaj7)room.

They nev er (Am)say

(C)that you’ve got to grow up quite this (Fmaj7)soon.

How fast things (Am)change

and (C)now I’m here and all I want to (Fmaj7)do

is go back to play ing bar bies in my (Am)room.

And I

Pink ca no pies and (C)grass stained knees.

Put ting fire flies in a jar, get ting home be fore it’s dark.

Scotch tap ing pos ters (C)on my wall.

Roll ing pix ie sticks to smoke, could n’t wait ’til I was (G)old er.

And (Fmaj7)I wish I could (Am)go

(C)back to play ing bar bies in my (Fmaj7)room.

They nev er (Am)say

(C)that you’ve got to grow up quite this soon.

How fast things (Am)change

and (C)now I’m here and all I want to (Fmaj7)do

is go back to play ing bar bies in my room.

(C)Back to play ing bar bies, oh, I wish that I could go back.

I wish that I could go back.

I wish that I could go back.

(G)Back to play ing bar bies in my room.

About “Barbies”

Is this the same engraved sheet music a piano teacher would print for "Barbies"?
Yes — the score is rendered server-side from the publisher MusicXML using Verovio (the same engine RISM and OpenScore use). Standard piano notation, treble + bass staves, real chord symbols, key signature C. Print-quality and identical to what you'd see in a printed piano book.
What key is "Barbies" by P!nk played in?
Barbies is arranged in the key of C on Super Simple Piano. You can transpose to any other key live in the player.
What's the tempo (BPM) of "Barbies"?
The arrangement plays at 144 BPM. Use the speed control (10-200%) to practice slower or play faster.
Is "Barbies" easy to play on piano?
This is a medium-difficulty arrangement. Most players can learn it within a few practice sessions using the speed control.
Can I download sheet music for "Barbies"?
Yes — registered users can download PDF sheet music, plus MIDI and MusicXML files for use in other notation software.
Who composed "Barbies"?

What other songs by P!nk can I play here?
Try "RUNAWAY", "TRUE LOVE", "LONG WAY TO HAPPY". All are in our player with color-coded notes; pick the one matching your level.
Is this the same notation a piano teacher would hand me?
Yes — "Barbies" is rendered at engraver quality (the Verovio engine, the same toolkit RISM and OpenScore editions use) from the original publisher MusicXML. You get standard piano notation: treble + bass clefs, key signature C, time signature, beams, dynamics — everything a printed sheet music book would have. Great for piano students learning to read music properly.
What's the difference between Sheet Music and the other modes here?
Sheet Music is the "classic" view — the one your piano teacher uses. Other modes (Beginner, Fall Down, Simple Sheet, Lead Sheet) trade real notation for color-coded notes and falling shapes to help absolute beginners. Use Sheet Music once you're ready to read both hands at once from real notation.
Can I practice from this view at my own pace?
Yes — slow the tempo from 144 BPM down (or up) without changing the pitch. The score scrolls in time and the currently playing note is highlighted, so you can drill a tough bar at half speed and bump it up once it feels comfortable.
Why can I click a note in the score?
Every notehead is interactive. Click and the audio jumps to that moment so you can drill a specific phrase or bar instead of replaying from the top. The currently playing note is highlighted as the music advances so your eye never loses its place.
Can I download the sheet music as a PDF?
Yes — Sheet Music PDF is one of the download formats for this song. The engraved score prints page-perfect on A4 / Letter so you can practice from paper as well as on screen.
